Kraken the Hunter

Fresh from the Modern Age's wildest corners of Marvel, Kraken the Hunter crashed onto the scene in 2023's The Amazing Spider-Man #17 (911), joining a gloriously chaotic roster that includes the likes of Goblin Queen, Rhiceratops, Lizzaro, and Doctor Octoball — company that tells you everything about the delightfully unhinged corner of the Spider-Man universe this character inhabits. With appearances spanning The Amazing Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man by Zeb Wells, and Dark Web Finale, Kraken has carved out a niche in one of Marvel's most inventive recent runs. Still early in their comics life with eight appearances to their name, this is exactly the kind of character that sharp-eyed collectors love to track from the ground floor.
